Hello! My name is Eric Kosinski. I am the creator of Element Wars and lead designer here at EJK Games. I created Element Wars back in 2007. As a volunteer Den Chief for Boy Scouts, I needed to make a game for a group of Cub Scouts to play. The game was a huge hit and the kids loved to play it every chance they got. Since then Element Wars has evolved and transitioned to this point. It's been a long journey and there is still much more to do, but I am excited to be writing this very first article for ElementWars.com.
Before getting into the future of the site I want to thank everyone who has helped develop Element Wars into a game that can be played by all. From the awesome artists who continue to produce these amazing pieces of art, to the programmers that help develop the dream, I am surrounded by wonderful people. Whenever you observe the artwork on a card (or anywhere else) consider the talented individual who had only an idea to work with, but made that idea into a visual creation. The same goes for the names on the credits. It is impossible to explain how much time and work went into making Element Wars a product to be played around the world. I am forever thankful for the knowledge, talent, and hard work that was put in by these amazing individuals.
